-------------------------**~~**--------------------------

You slump tiredly into your couch for the first time in a while, closing your eyes as the setting sun reflects on your face from the large window. It's not everyday that your energy goes down, but inevitably, there are days like today when you want to isolate yourself from the world just a little bit.

The living room of your apartment is still messy with all the stuff — papers, scissors, crayons, and stationary of all sort — that you were using to make your boyfriend a gift card.

Your eyes scan all the stuff, and most importantly, the pretty purple and white gift card you completed before leaving for the dance studio. It looks meaningless now, not even slightly pretty to your eyes.

All you can think about is how your dance colleagues talked about their life plans a while ago – how their words sent you in a spiral of uncertainty about your own life.

"You all, please pray I pass the audition. Not for another second am I going to waste my time here!"

"You will! Trust yourself. I thought I was going nowhere until I got my job."

"But I have come to terms with the fact that dancing here won't get me anywhere, I'm probably gonna make use of my degree and apply at the law firm."

"Well of course, I just can't sit with my hobby for a lifetime. I'm pushing my age already, so I'm hoping for my promotion."

It isn't like you to ponder over words, but this conversation did make you feel overwhelmed. Maybe you are being sensitive, but seeing everyone else talk about their sorted life makes this mess in your living room a lot suffocating than it is.

You reach out, holding the gift card in your hands and staring at it for a while. It speaks ugly words to you — pointing fingers at you and calling you a loser.

Your fingers involuntarily curl into it, almost about to rip it apart when a pretty voice breaks your reverie.

"Oh my baby!!! Did you make that for me? Show me!"

Jeonghan appears beside you out of nowhere, making you blink at him in surprise as the card is nearly snatched from your hand. The awe on his face makes your heart soften. He reads the card — all silly little messages you had scribbled in there — his contagious smile broadening on his face.

Before you can say anything, he has wrapped you in his arms, squishing you into his large frame. "Why are you soooo sweet? What if I cry?"

You end up smiling against his chest, wrapping your arms around him with a sigh. He has managed to wash away any negative emotions you were facing a while ago so easily. "We all know you're not gonna cry that easily, hannie."

He pulls away just enough to meet your eyes, a constant smile plastered on his lips. "I appreciate that you know me well, but I fear you're not entirely aware of how much I love these little things you do."

Something in your chest flutters as your smile dims slightly, staring at this loveable man and his comforting existence. He didn't even need to give you a whole speech about how it's good that you're on your own pace, and you're doing great in life (he can provide you with words of affirmation if needed) yet you're already feeling like none of people's words matter. Because you're reminded of the fact that you're indeed exactly where you're meant to be, and you'll be where you're meant to be in the future too.

You press a feather-light kiss to his nose, "What little things?"

He grins, returning the gesture with a more firm kiss than yours. "These little gifts you make me. But that's not all I love about you, you know? I love all that you do. Your dance, your impromptu shower singing, those stories you write in your laptop — I love all of it. Never quit on any of your hobbies. They make you, you."

It isn't like you to cry easily as well, but when you feel the sight of your pretty boyfriend blurring a little, you know you have tears in your eyes. He furrows his brows, instant concern spreading all over his features.

His hand cups your cheek softly. "Baby? What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

You sniff, and close your eyes for a second so the tear residing there falls past your cheek. Then you shake your head. "Never." You breathe. "You can never say anything wrong, hannie. In fact, you only ever say everything right. Everything to make me feel special."

He doesn't seem convinced given that he still doesn't smile. He just continues to look at you, trying to detect signs of distress. "Baby—"

You giggle a little, moving to wrap your arms around his neck. "Don't worry. I just got a little emotional because of what you said. I'm fine."

"You sure?"

You nod, feeling his thumb wipe at the lone tear that had fallen before he finally breaks into his signature teasing grin. "Who's the one easily crying now?"

You roll your eyes despite the smile on your face, "Stop being so cocky."

"You love it." He grins, kissing you briefly because he couldn't resist it. You hum, and chase his lips the moment he pulls away. He wants to tease, but right now he's going to give you what you want so he smiles and kisses you back.

If it's with Jeonghan and his gravitational comfort, you know you'll get everywhere you want to be in life.

Personal readings always available!

[isara0408]

I'm gonna list some headcanons I have for the science club members as friends ( or more like a little family because the Canon one is boring lol) and themselves a bit.

Headcanons

The science club members are closer to certain people in the club.

Homu is the closest to Kaga and Meka.

Meka is the closest to Yaku and Horo.

Yaku is closest to Horo and Meka.

Horo is closest to Yaku and Meka.

Kaga is closest to everyone. He's the leader. He has to know his members, but if he had to choose, he would choose Homu.

Yaku and Horo are childhood friends. Considering these two don't show much emotion, mostly Horo. They got along well.

Yaku always tries to keep his visor on as much as possible. When he doesn't have his visor on, his eyes don't really match what he does with his mouth. If he smiles or laughs, his eyes remain relaxed with a boring look on his face. So he has a visor to express his current emotions and to see.

Homu is closest to Kaga because he reminds her of her twin sister she lost and saw her die in front of her. The determination, passion, and shine that Kaga has reminded her of her twin. She sweared that she would protect him and not lose him the way she did with her sister.

Homu is the most protective one of the group.

Yaku and Meka talk a lot to each other since they work right next to one another, but mostly anime. Meka talks to Yaku about the mega animes she's into while Yaku talks about MGPM to Meka.

Horo and Yaku would tease Kaga about his height, but would immediately stop once Kaga threats them of them being his new guinea pig to test on.

Horo, Meka, Yaku, and Homu sometimes get scared or freaked out by Kaga. Mostly, his dangerous gadgets and experiments he does, and the crazy look in his eyes whenever he gets a new idea.

The four know about Kaga's crush on Megami. They don't really talk about it, considering it's his business, while Homu doesn't like the idea because she doesn't want to see Kaga be heartbroken by the cold-hearted Student Council president.

During the years of knowing Kaga, none of them ever saw him cry. It's quite rare for Kaga to show that level of negativity. Sure, he would get bummed out but never shed tears. He rarely gets angry as well. If he does show, they know it's something serious.

Kaga has an eating disorder: Avoidant Restristive Food intake Disorder (ARFID). People with this disorder prevent themselves from eating certain foods for their texture, smell, taste color or , a dramatic event (choking or throwing up), or just not being interested in eating. In Kaga's case, Kaga developed it when he was 7. He was so focused on his education and his talent for making gadgets that he slowly drifted away from eating. Instead of seeing eating as a need that his body needs, he slowly started to see eating as a chore and a waste of time. His disorder got worse when he was 11. He was underweight and needed to gain. He needed food in his stomach to give his body energy and grow. It was a very rough battle, but he slowly got better with time. However, he went back to old habits when he moved out and is trying his best to eat instead of pushing it aside.

They do know about Kaga's eating disorder. It's quite obvious. Yaku would make homemade nutritional bars for Kaga and the rest of the group to eat. He would even make meals for them to try that he is learning. He does enjoy cooking after all! :3

Instead of them being able to be killed easily like in the game, I would make a headcanon of Kaga building some self-defense weapons for the club members to use if they sense any danger around them ( No. The school or Megami do not know about this )

Homu is the one that rarely shows emotions. She is always like :| to everyone. When she does show any type of emotion on her face, it would be on a topic very close to her ( like her sister's death or thoughts of her sister)

For their friendship, Kaga and Horo worked together to make a special type of ring that would only belong to the group. No one else. It's a way to show their friendship and talk to one another. They are always busy with their own goals and achievements, so they would talk through the rings that they wear on their intermediate phalage on their index fingers. It was holograms that Horo programmed onto them. That's what the group uses as phones. Instead of having a boring phone that everyone has, they use those rings as their phones. It's easy and quick to access. Whoa technology! :0

Homu has nightmares of her twin sister. Some nights, she wakes up sweating from the nightmare or crying her eyes out. The science club members don't know about this.

Horo is brutally honest with anyone. He doesn't care if it hurts the person's feelings. He will say what he is thinking and feeling. He is even honest with Yaku. A true friend always tells the truth. :D

Meka and Yaku trash talk about animes they hate (mostly Meka)

Yaku doesn't have a good relationship with his family. The only people he sees as family are the science club members and Horo's family.

The science club members see each other as family.

Yaku has a lot of burns on his hands from the chemicals burning his skin. He doesn't wear gloves. Horo is always the one to scold him for it.

They will give anyone the cold shoulder if someone is disrespecting them or disrespecting one of the club members.

Meka has a lot of burns on her hands, too. Horo is also the one who is always the one to scold her for it, but she ignores him and continues to work on her mega robot.

The most expressive member is Kaga. He's the one who shows the most emotion.

Kaga is the person they will reply to for making certain gadgets for then. He's the one who can build it and has the talent for it. Another reason why he's the leader of the club.

[baeshijima]

can I just say that you're such an amazing and chill person. I always read your posts of you ranting about the games you play and it's so nice to read through them because you don't complain about every little thing you see, unlike the people I'm used to in social media. Ofc I'm not saying that people are not allowed to say they dislike something but it's just the way they deliver it that's so annoying. Overall, I think you're a very nice person and I hope you stay that way <33 (p.s. your writing is very nice btw)

omg nonnie... hehe im so happy to know my rants abt other games are still appreciated despite them not being the ones i write for !!

but honestly i personally just don't understand people who waste their time and energy hating on a game when they could be using on it ones/something they love and enjoy instead? like... why would you purposefully drown in that negativity which does more harm than good when you could be happier if you just, idk, ignore or stay away from the things you don't like?? twt is the worst place for this since it is overrun by ppl who like to hate on games/pick fights with the fans of said games just for interaction and bait, but every social media platform will have ppl like that; it just depends on how loud they are in a certain space :/

i just want to share the things i enjoy most, which extends to the games i play. sure, there are things i can say abt the games (mostly constructive criticism, which is most definitely not negative complaints/hate like some ppl want to believe, but sometimes frustrations as well) but i would rather spend my energy enjoying the media i consume compared to tiring myself out thinking up all these negative aspects and then hating the game ;w;

kjsdfh this got longer than i anticipated but it is smth i feel quite strongly abt since i just. do not understand why ppl would willingly put themselves through this mindset outside of some realm of masochism and self-loathing 🧍‍♀️

Carbon Dioxide — The Gas of Life

Story at-a-glance

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is commonly mischaracterized as a harmful waste product of respiration and is falsely blamed for disrupting the planetary climate

CO2 is an essential gas necessary for life. Moreover, its impact on Earth’s temperatures is negligible, and will remain negligible even if the current concentration in the atmosphere were to double. A 100% increase of CO2, from 400 ppm to 800 ppm, would decrease radiation into space by just 1.1%, resulting in a 0.7 degree C increase of the average earth temperature

A 0.7 degree C difference means there’s no climate emergency, and no matter what we do to reduce CO2 emissions, it’s not going to impact global temperatures. To fabricate an emergency where there is none, it is assumed that massive positive feedbacks are involved. However, most natural feedbacks are negative, not positive, so isn’t it likely the 0.7 degree C increase is an overestimation to begin with

There’s no single temperature of the Earth. It varies by location and altitude. For every kilometer of altitude, you have an average cooling of 6.6 degrees C

Higher CO2 levels will green the planet, making it more hospitable to plant life. The more CO2 there is, the better plants and trees grow. CO2 also reduces the water needs of plants, reducing the risks associated with droughts

The video above, “CO2, The Gas of Life,” features a lecture given at the Summit Old Guard Meeting in New Jersey, October 3, 2023, by William Happer, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of physics at Princeton University and former scientific adviser to the Bush and Trump administrations.

The topic: carbon dioxide (CO2), commonly mischaracterized as a harmful waste product of respiration and a pollutant that is disrupting the planetary climate. As explained by Happer in this lecture, CO2 is actually an essential gas necessary for life. Moreover, its impact on Earth’s temperatures is negligible, and will remain negligible even if the current concentration in the atmosphere were to double.

CO2 Is Not a Pollutant

At present, the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere at a few thousand feet of elevation is around 430 parts per million (ppm). Closer to the ground, concentrations vary widely, both by location and time of day. This is because ground-level readings are impacted by photosynthesis and the respiration of insects and the like.

In the room where Happer was giving his lecture, the CO2 reading was 1,800 ppm — the result of having a large group of people breathing in a closed space. Air conditioning systems have CO2 meters that turn on fans to bring outdoor air inside when levels get too high.

The question of what is too high is an important one, considering The Great Resetters are pushing a green agenda that demands the dismantling of energy infrastructure and farming in the name of stopping climate change, which quite obviously threatens our quality of life and food supply. Ultimately, it may threaten human existence altogether.

The fact of the matter is that CO2 is not the “bad guy” it’s made out to be, and the “net zero” agenda is wholly inappropriate if maintaining life on Earth is part of the equation.

“CO2 is a very essential and natural part of life,” Happer says. “It is the gas of life. We’re made of carbon after all, mostly carbon, and we breathe out a lot of CO2 a day just by living. Each of us breathes out about 2 pounds of CO2 a day. Multiply that by 8 billion people and 365 days a year, and just [by] living, people are a non-negligible part of the CO2 budget of the Earth.

Nevertheless, we are living through a crusade against so-called pollutant CO2. People talk about carbon pollution. [But] every one of us is polluting Earth by breathing, [so] if you want to stop polluting ... apparently God wants us to commit suicide ...

We're doing all sorts of crazy things because of this alleged pollutant ... more and more beautiful meadows are being covered with black solar panels. It doesn't work very well; it doesn't work at all at night. It doesn't work on cloudy days. It doesn't work terribly well in the middle of the winter because of the angle of the sun.

But nevertheless we're doing it. We’re being misled into climate hysteria, and if you haven't read this book, I highly recommend it. It was published first in 1841, called ‘Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.’ It’s as relevant today as it was then ...

I'm a physicist. I'm proud to say that no one could call me a climate scientist, but I know a lot about climate and I was a coauthor of one of the first books on the effects of carbon dioxide 41 years ago. This was a study done by the Jason Group which I was a member of. I was chairman for a while and it had really good people there.”

Long-Term Impact of Increasing Atmospheric CO2

The key question when it comes to global warming is, how much do you warm the Earth if you double the atmospheric CO2 concentration? This is called the climate sensitivity question. The GUESS is that doubling CO2 would result in a 3-degree centigrade rise in the global temperature.

“It was not based on any hard calculations,” Happer says. “It was because of group-think. That's what everybody else thought, and so that's what we thought. Now, in my defense, one of the reasons I didn't pay much attention to this [is because] I was working on something at this time that I thought was much more important. So, let me tell you about that, so you get a feeling for why I think I'm qualified to pontificate about this subject.

It was the beginning of the Strategic Defense Initiative, of Star Wars ... President Reagan ... wanted some way to defend the United States so that we didn't have to have this mass suicide pact, and among other things we considered using high-powered lasers to burn up incoming missiles ...

But here's the problem. If you take the 1 megawatt laser on the ground and you send it toward the missile, by the time it gets to the missile, the beam — instead of focusing all the power on the missile — breaks up into hundreds of sub beams — speckles — and this was something that was well-known to astronomers. You have the same problem when you're looking at distant stars and galaxies.

Astronomers knew how to fix this ... If you can measure how much this wave is bent, then you can bounce it off a mirror bent in the opposite direction, and when the wave bounces up it's absolutely flat. That's called adaptive optics and it works beautifully. Then, when you focus the corrected beam, you get a single spot instead of hundreds of [beams].

The trouble with that is that if you look at the night sky, there are only four or five stars that are bright enough to have enough photons to do the measurement of the distortion of the wave. So, we had a classified meeting in the summer of 1982. There were a number of Air Force officers there who explained the problem. By chance, I knew how to solve it.

You can make an artificial star anywhere in the sky by shining a laser tuned to the sodium frequency onto the layer of sodium above our heads, at 90 to 100 kilometers.”

While the Air Force was initially dubious about there being a sodium layer in the atmosphere, they did eventually build the sodium laser proposed by Happer, and if you go to any ground-based telescope today, you'll usually see one or two of them. Anyway, that story was simply to impress you with the fact that Happer knows what he’s talking about when it comes to atmospheric constituents and their related phenomena.

CO2 Has No Discernible Impact on Earth Temperatures

According to the climate alarmists, rising CO2 will result in global warming that will threaten all life on earth. In actuality, however, CO2 “is a very puny tool to do anything to the climate,” Happer says.

Keep in mind that there’s no single temperature on the Earth. It varies by location and altitude. For every kilometer of altitude, you have an average cooling of 6.6 degrees C. This is known as the lapse rate. That cooling continues up to the troposphere, where it stops.

The cooling is due to the fact that warm air rises and cool air descends. “It’s the convection that sets that rapid drop of temperatures — 6-and-a-half degrees per kilometer,” Happer says. He then explains the following graph, which details the thermal radiation to space from the Earth, assuming a surface temperature of 15.5 degrees C. The greenhouse gases is the area beneath the jagged black curve.

According to Happer, this is only 70% of what it would be without greenhouse gases, which is shown as the smooth blue curve, because as the sun heats the earth, greenhouse gases — mostly water vapor — impede cooling.

The most important part of this graph is the red jagged line, shown here with a red arrow pointing to it. That red line shows the effect that a doubling (a 100% increase) of CO2 would have on the surface temperature of Earth. As you can see, it’s negligible. It decreases radiation into space by just 1.1%.

As noted by Happer:

“Let that sink in. We’re far from doubling [CO2] today. It'll take a long time, [and] it only causes a 1% change. So, CO2 is a very poor greenhouse gas. It's not an efficient greenhouse gas.”

If you remove ALL CO2, you end up with the green jagged curve. As you can see, the green and black jagged lines run parallel with the exception of one spot. There’s a huge effect if you go from zero CO2 to 400 ppm (green arrow). But it’s again negligible when you go from 400 ppm to 800 ppm (black arrow). As explained by Happer:

“You get all of the effect in the first little bit of added CO2 ... So, it's really true that doubling CO2 only causes a 1% decrease of radiation. The IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] gets the same answer so this is not really controversial, although they will never show you the curve or tell you that it's 1%. That would interfere with the narrative ...

So, this is radiation to space. How do you change that into a temperature? They're worried that we'll get intolerable warming of the surface of the Earth where we live, or other parts of the atmosphere.

Here again it's important to do the first order calculation ... and it says that the warming from doubling CO2 is ... less than one degree ... 0.7 [degree] C. Very small. You really can’t feel that.”

Why, Then, the Alarm Over Rising CO2?

Needless to say, this is a huge problem for the climate science community, because a 0.7 degree C difference means there’s no climate emergency, and no matter what we do to reduce CO2 emissions, it’s not going to impact the climate.

So, to fabricate an emergency where there really is none, the IPCC “assumes enormous positive feedbacks,” Happer says. Because CO2 is not a potent greenhouse gas, the tiny direct warming caused by it is amplified by factors of anywhere from four to six to make it seem like it has a discernible impact.

“I like to say it's affirmative action for CO2,” Happer says. “It’s not very good at warming but if you assume lots of feedback, you can keep the money coming in.” The problem with that is that most who have a background in physical chemistry and physics know that most natural feedbacks are negative, not positive.

“The 0.7 degree C of warming you get when you double the CO2 is probably an overestimate, because there are probably negative feedbacks operating in this very complicated climate system that we live in.” ~ William Happer, Ph.D.

This is known as the Chatelier Principle, named after the French chemist who first discovered that “when a simple system in thermodynamic equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature, volume or pressure ... the system changes to a new equilibrium and ... the change partly counteracts the applied change.”

So, the 0.7 degree C of warming you get when you double the CO2 is “probably an overestimate,” Happer says, “because there are probably negative feedbacks operating in this very complicated climate system that we live in. The atmosphere, the oceans, everything is nonlinear.”

The key take-home from all this is that whether we’re at 400 ppm of CO2 or 800 ppm doesn’t matter when it comes to impacting the temperature of the earth. In short, the climate hysteria is just that. It’s not based on any real threat. Only if we were able to get to absolute zero CO2 would there be a change, but doing so also means we’d exterminate all living things on the planet. It’s nothing short of a suicide agenda.

More CO2 Will Green the Planet

As explained by Happer, more CO2 will green the planet, making it more hospitable to plant life. The more CO2 there is, the better plants and trees grow, so if we want lush forests and bountiful harvests, cutting CO2 is the last thing we’d want to do.

“All plants grow better with more CO2 [in the air],” he says. “Plants are really starved [of] CO2 today. We know plants need many essential nutrients. They need nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium; most important of all they need water. But they also need CO2, and like many of the other nutrients, CO2 today is in short supply.”

CO2 benefits plants by reducing their water needs, hence less risk from drought. Higher CO2 levels also reduce harmful photorespiration. According to Happer, C3-type plants lose about 25% of their photosynthesis potential due to increased photorespiration. For more in-depth information about the role of CO2 in plant growth and photosynthesis, please view the video. This discussion begins around the 40-minute mark.

Lies, Ignorance, Stupidity or Something Else?

In closing, Happer makes an effort to explain what’s driving the climate hysteria:

“In spite of incontrovertible arguments that there is no climate emergency — CO2 is good for the Earth — the campaign to banish CO2, ‘net zero,’ has been very successful. So, how can that be? I’m really out of my depth here because now I'm talking about human nature. I'm really good with instruments and with solving differential equations but I'm not very good at understanding human beings.

But here are some of the drivers: noble lies, political lies, ignorance, stupidity, greed. Noble lies goes back to Plato who discusses it in ‘The Republic.’ ‘In politics, a noble lie is a myth or untruth, often, but not invariably of a religious nature, knowingly propagated by an elite to maintain social harmony or to advance an agenda.’

And here there's a clear agenda. If you could somehow unite mankind to fight some external threat, for example CO2 pollution, then we won't fight each other. There won't be wars. So, I think many sincere people have latched on to the CO2 narrative partly for that reason. You can actually read about it in the early writings of the Club of Rome.

Then there are political lies. This is one my favorite H.L. Menken quotes: ‘The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.’”

Ignorance, of course, is widespread, and largely based on incomplete knowledge or a flawed understanding of the facts. And what of stupidity? Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the few German clergymen who opposed Hitler and eventually paid for his public dissent with his life, once wrote about human stupidity:

“Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protest nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved — indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions.

So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one.”

Happer himself has experienced the danger of opposing stupidity. “I regularly get phone calls threatening me, my wife and children with death,” he says. “So, what kind of movement is this?” Lastly, greed. A.S. Pushkin once said, “If there should happen to be a trough, there will be pigs.” And climate science is currently where the big bucks are — provided your work furthers the global warming narrative and the need for net zero emissions.

Whatever the drivers are, responsible people everywhere need to push back against the false climate change narrative and the net zero agenda, as it will accomplish nothing in terms of normalizing temperatures, but will rapidly erode quality of life and the sustainability of food production, and shift wealth into the hands of the few.

I hope that I can get my hearing aids this week. I'm frustrated with the weather. I got to go to the gym tomorrow and I didn't clean off my car. So I got to clean a path and clean my car to get to the gym tomorrow. And by the time I clean everything off.. I may not have the energy to go.

I'm so beyond frustrated with the weather. It's always icy. There is always surprise snow. It makes me have to reschedule all kinds of things and I'm dependent on Dr's.. I mean just to get my shot. And I regret joining the gym this time of year. Not really bc even though my progress seems stunted... I don't think i would have worked on my abs if I had joined at any other time... or my legs. Either way it's exhausting planning around snow to go.

I'm exhausted with my life. I can't find a therapist. Going to the gym has to be a project. An actual project. I really should have cleaned my fucking car today bc I didn't go today bc I went Saturday and Sunday. I mean I could skip tomorrow and just clean my car but I mean... then I can only go Wednesday and Friday and I mean then one body part gets ignored until Friday. I'd probably do abs and arms on Wednesday. But I'm going to try to do arms tomorrow and abs and legs on Wednesday.

I'm just frustrated. I am always scared Riley is going to be in my mother room. My mother is a complete bitch 24/7. I truly can't find a therapist. I mean sleep is never a promise. Of course I'm scared of what long term Xanax use can do to my brain but I need it to sleep. It's the only reason I sleep.

I'm worried about my thyriod. I have a feeling not much has changed since last month maybe one more level went up but idk.

I mean frustrated is an understatement with my hearing aids and the weather. And my living situation. And my lack of dating prospects. I truly don't have people in my life. I've been swiping a lot. I only match with people i find to be very ugly. And I don't want to waste their time. And when I say friendship they disappear lol cause I'm not going to lie to them.

I mean I just feel the whole world is nasty. And idk how to find people who are good to me.

I mean I'm not even planning anything for my birthday. How can I? Riley still lives here. Speaking of Riley she was in the crate by choice with the door opened when I was in my room and I heard a loud painful shreak. I ran out of my room. She seemed fine. But I mean idk what happened. I mean one thing I know is my mother doesn't cut her nails... but i don't actually want Riley to die. I just want Riley to go somewhere safe. But that isn't going to happen. Somehow my mother managed to burn the connection with the rescue. She keeps reaching out but they don't respond. I eventually will reach out to another rescue. But I know it'll be a waste of time and I don't have many spoons. Going to the gym I'm negative spoons. Not going to the gym I'm negative spoons when I open my eyes.

I'm very upset about my birthday.

I think about Elise a lot. And wonder since I'm not going to email her if she will eventually talk to me but I expect to be consistently disappointed.

Id contact her to be my therapist but we can't go backwards. We can only go no where or actually be in eachothers life. I just don't feel we could have an authentic therapeutic relationship. Sometimes I think what if she blocked me to try to get me to contact her as a therapist? Cause I still don't know what triggered it or why she did it. But i can't go backwards. I want her in my life.

But then i think okay let's say she shows up sometime as a friends. We will get coffee sometimes. But it won't be a very significant relationship. So why does it matter to me? It matters to me bc i know she genuinely cared and is a good person.

Sometimes I worry that I scare her but I guess i won't know that unless she shows up for me. And if she doesn't I will assume I do. I realize my issue with finding anything in life is being a voice hearer makes people afraid of me. It's gross.

I remember when I met that girl with schizophrenia. She told me she hallucinated. I wasn't scared of her at all. I mean the way I felt about it was if she can keep her shit together and function she's just a strong person and I would have dated her if she didn't cry on the phone to me the night I gave her my number. And this was before I became a voice hearer. I wasn't scared at all of her.

But to know people are afraid of me is really awful. Tbh I've lost a lot of friends bc of it. They are scared of me. And it's like all it says is happy birthday. You should be scared that i will kill myself not that I'll hurt you. But either way it's sad. I don't get it. It could be a brain tumor. It could be hearing loss. It could be so many different things that aren't psychological. And why are we so scared of mental illness? I'm sure there have been voice hearer who have been commanded to kill someone or hold up a store. Son of Sam heard the dog talking to him... but to put everyone who has auditory hallucinations in a box labeled as dangerous is really fucking sad.

What about people who are deaf or hard of hearing who hear a voice bc their brain lacks auditory stimulation? What about someone with a very tiny tumor in their brain effecting their cochlea? I mean and even if it's psychosis like it is with me or schizophrenia like it is with some people or bipolar like it is with some people why are we afraid?

All of us end up dead for a reason. People are afraid of us.

I did some things early psychosis I'm not proud of so I get why Elise may have been afraid of me. But I mean if she had shown up i would have hugged her. I wasn't dangerous. Although I get why at the time she may have been afraid of me.

I was never dangerous though. I was terrified and confused and I didn't know what was happening to me and I was just looking for a friend. I just wanted someone to hold my hand and tell me everything is okay and that's still what I'm looking for. I just don't think I'll find it.

SILENCE Is INDEED GOLDEN

Speech is silver, silence is golden! Both are precious, with silence considered to be more valuable . Silence is the harder of the two. But, saying nothing sometimes says the most. And, when you have nothing to say, say nothing.

The self-reflection that comes with silence allows you to fully experience and appreciate the sources of true satisfaction in life. Thus, it is imperative to make time for it. There are several first steps one can take to start the process of creating space for great silence in life, “Silentium Magnum”. Being silent allows us to channel our energies. It gives us the clarity we need to calmly face challenges and uncertainty.

The hour of silence I practice each morning, and I encourage you to practice as be a time for collecting our thoughts, training our minds, and deciding how we want to enter the day. During an argument, taking a moment of silence can allow both parties to calm down and collect their thoughts. This can prevent the situation from escalating and allow for a more productive conversation. Additionally, silence can be used to show empathy and understanding.

Well, silence can convey a way of mystery and power since it leads the opposite side to believe that you simply are willing to steer away rather than settling for fewer than the specified outcome. Most of the people are uncomfortable with silence and using it in negotiations may be a great way to urge what you would like. Finding moments of silence can have significant psychological and mental health advantages and give you a greater sense of peace.

With all of the constant noise we hear on a day-to-day basis, embracing silence can help stimulate our brain and to process information. Silence may help our health in several ways, including: lowering blood pressure, improving concentration and focus, calming racing thoughts, stimulating brain growth, stimulating creativity and encouraging mindfulness.

True, silence helps facilitate introspection, a process that aids in self-discovery and the cultivation of self-awareness. Periods of silence can offer the opportunity to reflect on one’s experiences, thoughts, and feelings, promoting greater emotional understanding and cognitive clarity. Silence unlocks our creativity, allowing innovative ideas to flourish. By immersing ourselves in silence, we cultivate self-awareness and foster personal growth.

Moreover, silence provides a tranquil space that nurtures inner calmness and mental clarity, essential in combating the stresses of everyday life. Scripture tells us that silence can help us avoid sinning (Proverbs 10:19), gain respect (Proverbs 11:12), and is deemed wise and intelligent (Proverbs 17:28). In other words, you may be blessed by holding your tongue.

Ultimately, refraining from speaking in certain situations means we are practicing self-control. Schedule time each day to sit in a quiet space, clear your mind and focus on your breathing. This practice can help you develop a sense of calm when negative thoughts arise, which can help you regulate your emotions and behaviours.

By dipping oneself in silence, it can cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness, fostering personal growth and introspection. Many distractions and noises flood our world. Silence puts us in the position of power. The minute you open your mouth, you can lose an argument or be talked into something or even just waste your time and energy. Noteworthy, silence is necessary for strong relationships to last.

Silence can show a level of vulnerability and comfort within a relationship. At other times, one or both individuals may need a break from verbal communication, just being content in each other’s space. Being quiet is, in some way, equivalent to keeping your mouth shut, not making your voice heard. But being silent is more about entering a sacred place within yourself. When you are silent, an inner sanctuary opens up and your mind calms down and is freed from the endless cycle of thinking.

When you cultivate silence and solitude, your whole body will relax, which can lead to physical healing. “Relaxation is a primary mechanism for healing,” says Buttimer. When we are under stress, our body’s natural repair mechanisms are disabled. During conflict resolution, Silence is not just the absence of words. It’s a powerful tool that can convey meaning, emotion, and intention. Silence can also create space for reflection, listening, and empathy, which are essential for resolving conflicts.

The flipside of silence could be: People will not make you a friend; people start taking you for granted and will only use you for their mean purposes, people will start controlling and dominating you, some people will take you as a proud person. But, the smarter you get, the less you speak. The deepest feeling always shows itself in silence.

One thing I’ve noticed about people in or entering their 30s is they don’t make as many compromises anymore. If someone doesn’t meet them halfway, is not up to standard, is just not where they’re needed to be, they’re just like “ok cool” and they move on from the person. Which is not to say they’re less empathetic or understanding, but more that they have learned that time is their most prized possession and they’re not willing to make massive compromises on it. They are not obsessed w the idea of fixing someone (bc the concept of fixing a person doesn’t really exist). They simply move on to someone who is up to par. I want that. I want to always move w the awareness that time is my most priceless belonging and I can never buy it back. Ever. So I have to use it wisely. Not just when it comes to ppl but w opportunities too! Not wasting your energy on negativity. Always seeing the big picture etc etc. I just want to always move from a place of 'is this expending time that could be best spent elsewhere? Just a note 2 self while I navigate how to spend my time which includes dedicated studying & reading more consistently & moving my body & enjoying nature & telling someone I love them <3 #we will be alright.

♡ Group 1 ♡

The answer to your question is...

"Do not hesitate."

You can take this as a yes as well. If you are/were overthinking about anything or hesitant towards your decisions then don't be. Be confident and trust yourself. No one can bring you down unless you do so.

Thank you for reading ♡.

Thank you for reading ♡.

...

♡ Group 3 ♡

The answer to your question is...

"It is worth it."

Maybe you are struggling currently. If you are thinking about a certain person then I will say a little bit more waiting for this person might be worth it. Whatever you are putting your energy into is worth it.

Thank you for reading ♡.

...

♡ Group 4 ♡

The answer to your question is...

"Let it go."

Maybe it's a no. Like a negative no. You might be holding onto something for too long. So long that it was destined to be apart from you a long time ago but you held it.

♡ Group 5 ♡

The answer to your question is...

" you are worth it."

Ok but like I am feeling someone is seeing validation. Don't cuz you are worth more than you know. You should not waste your time on seeking validation from people who doesn't even matter. They seriously don't. Also this is talking about being bold and confident. Coming into the spotlight. Basically glowing lol. So if you are insecure of yourself don't be cuz you are literally the most awesome person around you!

Thank you for reading ♡.

...

♡ Group 6 ♡

The answer to your question is...

"The the other way."

Choose the path that is more fun and more alive. A path that makes you creative and calls to you more.

You are gonna make this particular thing/field/path worth it/popular so just don't worry you'll slay it!

Thank you for reading ♡.

...

♡ Group 7 ♡

The answer to your question is...

"It's the question itself. "

This question might be a question that can have tens and more kinds of answers but the most important and accurate answer is the question itself. I don't know if it makes sense but that's what I'm getting. Hopefully you will sort it out soon.

Thank you for reading ♡.

...

♡ Group 8 ♡

The answer to your question is...

"Look at the bigger picture. "

There's not a big or detailed message for you. It's just telling you to look out for things, possibly the positive things that are outside of your thinking currently. You might find someone perfect, that makes me feel like some of you just lost a person maybe a love interest so you don't need to worry cuz there's a better person for you.

Thank you for reading ♡.

...

♡ Group 9 ♡

The answer to your question is...

"Ask for help to someone. "

Especially if you are going through a hard time, contact a friend you will feel nice. No one takes you as a burden group 8 that's just in your head. You have to take a step each day to break out of your shell. Many of you might be facing mental health issues so just believe that you can be better and for you I think you should let yourself socialise with others.

Hi hi hi!!!! I like ur writings >< its ok if u dont butt can i request a scenario is ok with itto and thoma where the reader is jealous of sara and ayaka respectively but the reader doesnt lash out, they just become big sad:( thank youuu!!!

jealous reader gets upset :( — genshin hcs ⸝⸝

— warning[s]. kinda angsty ? and also intense favouritism w the women👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

— synopsis . . . reader becomes jealous of (insert my favourite girls here) and becomes sad :’(

— characters . . . itto , thoma

★ notes . . . jealousy is to be expected in any relationship, don’t ever feel bad abt ur feelings ! make sure to talk it out with your partner :)) <3

— small backstory to what happened: itto had been hanging around sara a lot and leaving quite little time to spare for you (much to his dismay) it’s mostly been just him teasing and annoying her into sparring , once again she won’t budge - this sort of thing repeated for days and the coos and awes of people around town weren’t helping your jealousy

— he noticed you’ve been having this sort of negative energy around you , and that your eyes always had this red tint to them but he just assumed it was just allergies or something (once again, he’s a himbo.)

— big himbo man doesn’t understand why you’ve been avoiding him for the past few weeks :( he’s been missing your surprise hugs and your cute smile

— the days you do catch each other’s attention , it’s very short lived and you end up leaving straight away, he just wants to know what he did wrong so things can finally go back to normal !! ;’(

— when he finally managed to catch you he pleaded that you two go out on a date together to bond his charming smile was too hard to resist so you agreed with a simple nod

— though , this plan ultimately backfired. sara was walking around inazuma apparently searching for something to do with military affairs assigned by the raiden shogun , being the social man he is he went up to sara to start a conversation

— obviously , this upset you even more since you were literally on a date so you just decided to leave as to not waste your time

— poor man’s heart dropped when he couldn’t find you i mean you were right there next to him a couple seconds ago ?? where could’ve you gone in such a short time frame ??

— honestly searched for hours on end before he finally saw you sitting underneath a tree , knees bucked up towards your face and the sunshine softly enveloping you

— he sat down next to you , muscly arms pulling you in gently with a loving sweet kiss to the crown of your head yet all that wasn’t enough to put a pause on the burning tears that ran down your face

— hearing your silent weeps sincerely broke his heart and the fact you wouldn’t even look at him like you normally would when you’re upset - he understood it was his most likely his fault but he was more than ready to take responsibility

— he let you calm down , slowly rubbing your back with one hand whilst giving you short kisses on the top of your head for comfort which manages to work as your tears finally start pricking your eyes

— once you finally explained your feelings and thoughts to him , he just wanted to spoil you with his affection because he felt so bad :(( treats you to anything you want ! with extra cuddles, kisses and words of affirmation as a reward <3

— as ayaka’s housekeeper (malewife) and as a loyal friend of course he’d hang and monitor her quite often , but when those “often’s” become “daily” it can get pretty lonely

— the only things you ever really heard over the past weeks was “sorry , i can’t i need to help ayaka” or any other variation of that same sentence and honestly , you were tired

— when passing by the yashiro commission it was hard to not notice the playful and fleeting touches that they gave each other and the giggles that echoed throughout your head like nails on chalkboard

— thoma would never dare to hurt your feelings on purpose , he’s loved you since like forever ! so you had no real doubt that his love for you was true however you just couldn’t handle the envy that brew itself inside you and planted this seed of insecurity

— you refused to go out whilst you were feeling this way , you just had this sense of shame that you’d even let these sort of thoughts pass through your mind even though you’re more than aware that she’s just his friend

— thoma started to feel your absence besides him , i mean he’s noticed it since the beginning but only now it’s dawning over him that you’ve genuinely not been together enough and that your daily dose of kisses hasn’t been given in way too long ! :(

— he’s an extremely observant individual and very talented at identifying certain behavioural patterns especially when it comes to you , so when he saw you curled up in bed with tissues swarming your bedside table he really knew that this detachment from one another has took a toll on you

— climbs into bed with you and slowly but surely wraps his arms around your waist with a light squeeze and a few chaste kisses on your neck

— didn’t waste any time to apologise thoroughly , he confessed and affirmed his love for you as if you were both back at the start of your relationship - he just wanted to make sure you knew he loved and adored you and that nothing or no one could prevent that

— makes sure to dote on you heavily , so if you’re not into heavy PDA then .. good luck ! <3

IHEARTGANYU do not copy, steal or repost <33

★ notes : i went a tad overkill with the angst on some parts :’) i’ll reward you guys i swear <3

[avidrawsthings]

was reinas name ever cleared up after the trip to the portrait vault?

Context here

TW: Slut-shaming, bullying, minor body horror

"Turns out that nearly getting killed by your tormentors was beneficial in proving your innocence."

Long post ahead as usual!

It was cleared a few weeks before the trip and right before the attack that left Reina in a coma. Small change from the previous post: Reina was actually present for this. The absent one was Merula, as she had stolen Reina's Crystal Wand and was trying to break it in an attempt to kill her (as those wands are linked to the owner's Soul).

Rowan and a few others had gotten to work gathering evidence to clear Reina's name. They've been keeping tabs on Emily and Merula by using Ismelda's Doll Magic to spy on them and record their conversations.

That's when they found out Emily used her connections with Rita Skeeter to get the woman to write a hit piece against Reina, hoping it would ruin her reputation beyond the school and drive her to leave it for good. The woman would stop by in a few days to speak with them directly.

Duncan offered to help as soon as Rowan informed him of what had been going on. Not that he'd admit it, but the current state Reina was in actually worried him. With help from Chiara, they were able to convince Reina to get some fresh air if only for just a moment.

Their eventual encounter with Emily and her squad was a complete coincidence. While Rowan intended to take their findings to the professors, she felt exposing Emily's lies in front of surrounding students would have a better impact. The following took place at the Clocktower Courtyard.

"If it isn't the school whore. Got bored of the Weasleys already? Scoping out the courtyard for other guys to sleep with?"

While Emily had been the one spreading all the nasty rumors, no one knew about her working with Merula. Given that the Slytherin's reputation is so negative, anyone that associates with her is met with distrust at best and hate at worst. Penny's own reputation took a hit earlier on since she openly sided with Merula after her fallout with Reina.

"We already know you started all of this, Tyler. Why don't you go ahead and tell everyone about your little collaboration with Snyde? Or would you rather have us do it?"

"I d-don't know what you're talking about! No one in their right mind would ever work with that snake!"

"Then why do you sound so nervous right now?"

Ismelda wasted no time in using one of her dolls to play back an earlier conversation Emily had with Merula, making sure it was loud and clear for everyone around them. With the alliance exposed, eyes were now on Emily.

Reina found herself starting to gain her energy back, and with it came the drive to finally speak out on everything she had to deal with.

"Let's get this out of the way. I've said it many times before, but maybe now that you've been exposed, they'll believe me this time around. The trips to the forest were because the source of the Sleepwalking Curse was there. It's so convenient for you that you forgot, considering you were one of the people we rescued from that place. Had I known this is what you'd do, I would've left you to the Acromantulas lurking around for their next meal."

"You-!"

"I know you started this because of a two-year-old grudge. You lost to me in a duel and then you got rejected by the same Bill Weasley you thought was far too beneath you. I'll never understand being such a bitter, miserable bitch like you."

"Y-yeah?! W-well, explain those trips to the Prefects' Bathroom, then! What could you possibly find there that's related to the vaults?! No one with a functioning brain cell would believe that!"

Duncan provided context for the trips to the Prefects' Bathroom, as well as his connection to Ricardo.

"They went there to talk to me, you absolute troglodyte! My friends and I investigated the vaults ourselves some years back. They were looking for ways to break this current curse, something you idiots had to go and make far more difficult than it needed to be. I doubt you have enough intelligence to understand that."

He even found himself defending his old best friend after Emily attempted to deflect by bringing up Ricardo and his supposed wrongdoings.

"He's many things, but dangerous and mad certainly aren't one of them. Reckless? Absolutely. Idiotic? Without a doubt. No matter how misguided his attempts may have been, he felt keeping Reina in the dark about the vaults would somehow keep her safe. If you buffoons are going to condemn him, do so for the things he's actually done, not what you think he did just because you didn't like him."

Reina would then explain her reasons for transferring to Hogwarts in the first place. She just wanted to be closer to Ricardo as at that point he still had 2 years of schooling left.

When they last met before he disappeared, Reina attributed the stress and worries he was feeling to his upcoming exams, as he was to take his O.W.L.s that year. Seeing the hostility against him is what prevented her from revealing she was his sister.

"Ricardo is my brother and I'm not ashamed of that. Never was and never will be. Based on everything I went through this year because of you fuckers, I know for a fact that those awful things people say about him aren't true. People will believe anything they hear and just go with it. So go on and say and think whatever you want. I'm not going to stop anytime soon, not when lives are on the line."

It was around this time that it began to click for some of the students that were listening in. Anyone willing to work with Merula immediately couldn't be trusted. Someone like Emily spreading such rumors made sense, especially given her track record of bullying those she saw beneath her. Eyes were on her and she knew it.

Disaster Strikes

Because of the way her powers worked, those around Reina sensed the sincerity and genuine emotions she projected with her words. Reina could sense the hatred against her finally starting to slowly fade, and with it, she felt a large weight being lifted from her shoulders.

In her rage, Emily would pull out her wand in an attempt to fight Reina. At this exact moment, Merula succeeded in breaking Reina's crystal wand.

It caused her entire body to lose its color, and cracks to appear, making her look like a cracked marble statue.

Reina fell into a coma at this moment. As far as everyone around them knew, Emily had just attempted to kill Reina in retaliation.

"What the bloody hell did you do to her, Tyler?!"

"W-what?! I didn't-!"

In a twist, this act is what cemented Reina's innocence in the eyes of most of the student body. While an actual investigation would be underway in regards to Reina's condition, Emily for a time would be under some scrutiny of her own thanks to her "failed murder attempt".

Merula was quite pleased with what she had done. Not only did she believe Reina was going to die for certain, but she also believed she got away with it as she was never caught. She didn't really care much about the strange mark that appeared on her chest after committing the act...

Unknown to everyone there, Rita Skeeter secretly arrived earlier than expected and witnessed everything while in her Animagus form. The story that unfolded was far better than what Emily had promised her.

yo why do you insult bylers for having doubts? i don’t get why should i get my hopes up after the terribile mess of season 4 lol,if it happens good but i wouldn’t waste all my energy reaching onto an homophobic show like stranger things. the monologue looked sincere to me,it was cringe but i think it’s the biggest milkvan proof lol

i dont have anything against people w doubts. im not 100% confident myself!!

(this whole thing isnt meant to sound mean or whatever please dont take it as such i know my wording isnt exactly kind but im not tryna bully u i swear🙏🙏🙏)

when we talk abt debbie downers or doubters, we're talking abt people who intentionally post stuff in the byler tag (where people who do enjoy the show and are hopeful for it to be canon are just trying to vibe) saying that anyone who does think it will be canon is stupid and that we shouldnt invest any time into the show bc we are wrong (thats super fuckin patronising❗)

its totally fine if s4 made u think we wont get anything!! its totally fine to think that it is queerbait!!! but if ur actively posting that in the byler tag then people who are positive abt it are gonna see negative posts. and thats not what the tag is for.

im not telling you personally to get ur hopes up. i really dont care what internet strangers independently think abt the canon possibilities of the little gay people from the monster show. what i do care about is people spreading negativity in a positive space<33

also just bc you dont want to invest time into analysis doesnt give you the right to condescend to people who Do put effort and thought into analysis.

Cole I feel bad because I like Sterek but not as I used to and it's kind of painful because it seems like I'm moving on from something that used to made me feel better when I was feeling blue :( I don't know if I feel influenced a little bit by antis.

We all grow & find new interests to focus on. That doesn't mean you can't still enjoy Sterek.

And I'll tell you how to deal w/ antis: BLOCK THEM.

Back in 2014, I was so exhausted with having to see anti posts that I just went through the Sterek & anti tags and blocked every single person that was posting negative stuff about Sterek. And trust me, it's so easy to do & will make your fandom experience so much better.

A lot of people on social media feel compelled to engage in a back & forth w/ antis because they feel like somebody is attacking them, so they feel like they must share their side & bite back. Don't do it. It's a waste of time and energy. Just block them as soon as you see them.

And here's a tip. If you see somebody in the Sterek tag post something that seems "innocent" like: "I just don't understand why people ship sterek, can somebody please explain to me why you ship it"....block them. It's bait. They aren't actually curious & they're not actually being nice or respectful. They want to bait you into an argument or troll you because they're bored.

So, just block!

The air is acrid and thick, feeling like it was suffocating you rather than helping to you live. Raising a hand to your face, you looked around the desolate Dune Sea, wondering why on earth you were being summoned to Maker forsaken Tatooine. And who the kriff was summoning you?

All you knew was that you had been summoned from your home on Corsucant - rather forcefully, and dragged back to this hell hole. Under any other circumstances you would have fought back or questioned what was actually going on, but something about the small but imposing woman that dragged you with her caused you to keep your mouth shut. She hadn’t given you so much as a name - hers or your mysterious summoner, and you hadn’t asked.

She’d watched you closely on the hours long ride to Tatooine, seeming to study and observe you with curiosity. At one point you had wanted to snap back at her but the weapons holstered to her side and stowed around the ship made you bite your tongue and bide your time. The woman didn’t say a single word; neither did you.

If you were being taken to your death, then that was that. You’d made that much up in your mind as soon as you’d stepped foot onto the ship. Harsh and cruel as it was too say, there wasn’t much you would be losing, nor would many people miss you. It was a quiet life you led these days, keeping to yourself and your humble abode in a small, but safe corner of Coruscant.

You’d been there, waiting, hoping, wishing ever since - no.

No, no, no. You weren’t going to let your mind back to that dark, haunted place. It was something that still managed to seep into the front of your mind, no matter how many years you tried to suppress them. It was when a man with dark hair would come into your little shop and you’d only catch a glimpse. When you heard deep, rough laughter that was all consuming. When you’d see a hint of green armor. When you’d hear a voice even remotely similar to his...

Boba Fett might have died many years ago, but he had never left your heart. He was still in everything you did, so many little things reminding you of what was and what could have been.

You hadn’t been back to this living hell since the day he’d died, lost to the sarlacc and left only to become memories that would fade away over generations. You’d wanted to stay there, to wait and see if somehow he would come back to you, but you couldn’t.

You’d left the next day and never looked back. You hated yourself for it, but you also...your heart had been broken into hundreds of millions of tiny shards of transparisteel. Ever since, you’d hoped that maybe one you’d come across your lover.

But the day never came. And while you went along with life, you still held onto the slight hope that maybe one day...maybe, maybe, maybe.

A soft sigh escaped your parched lips as you felt immediately all consumed by the sand, like it was becoming a part of you or you were destined to become a part of it. Either way, it was enough to frustrate you as you shielded your eyes from the harsh heat and blazing light of the twin suns.

“Keep up,” it was the first time she had spoken to you since she’d first called your name and instructed you to come with her. She was commanding for a figure so slight, but you had a feeling she was much deadlier than she looked - and she was already a sight. Biting back a groan you picked up the pace and trailed after her, confusion clouding your features as you began to realize where you were headed.

This was Jabba’s Palace...well no - Bib Fortuna’s. Just like Boba, Jabba, the disgusting, foul, loathsome leader of the galaxy’s biggest syndicate had been dead for some time.

What the kriff would Bib Fortuna want with you?

You’d cut off any ties you’d had with any of them long ago, before Boba was even dead. There was no way you could ever provide anything useful to him...

Autopilot had completely taken over and you were barely aware of the fact that you’d reached the palace and were headed towards its inner sanctum. Your stomach lurched as you walked through the walls you hoped would forever be a memory as you realized just how clearly you remember it all. Sure, the place had seen better days, wearing down from the harsh sandy winds and the hands of time, but it was ever the same.

Except this time - few people were milling about, no workers to be seen and it felt surprisingly...tame. Not something you thought would ever be possible for his place. Something had to have happened... something was off-

“Down,” the woman pointed at the stone staircase, her hand on the small of your back as she gently nudged you towards the top step. You were half surprised that she didn’t just completely shove you down to the bottom, but the energy you were getting from her wasn’t mean or negative...just curious.

“W-what?” you managed to stammer, your throat dry and scratchy the heat and lack of water. She quirked a dark brow and pointed at the stairs again.

“Down,” she repeated, “it’s best not to keep him waiting.”

Kriff. You were going to die at the hands of Fortuna. He was a weak man, bolstered by those he keep around him, ego inflated beyond measure. On his own he was a pathetic little thing, but when surrounded by his goons, he was cruel and merciless at worst.

Accepting your fate, you started your slow descend down the stairs, your heartbeat screaming in your ears with each foot fall. Your chest was thumping so wildly you were sure that it would burst through your chest at any point.

But nothing met your ears, there were no sounds, no talking, no music, nothing. It was almost deafeningly silent.

When your feet hit the soft sand floor, you did a quick survey of the almost empty room. A few torches lined the wall, but that was about all. The throne was in the center of the room as it always was and -

Maker. The Throne.

As you looked at it, you swallowed the lump in your throat as you looked upon the singular figure in the room besides yourself.

The man was in armor from head to toe. Green armor. With red accents. You knew those colors, those colors you once considered your own, those were his colors.

But no - it couldn’t have been. No, no, no, this was an impostor, this was -

“Hello little one,” that voice. You knew it more intimately than anything else, you know that voice inside and out. That voice that had laughed at you a million times, that voice that been in your ear during the heat of passion, the one that teased you, the one that scolded you when you did something dangerous. That voice.

It was his. Boba’s.

“No,” you shook your head as you refused to move closer to the man that was surely a pretender - a great one, but still not your Boba, “y-y-you aren’t...no.”

He remained silent for a long moment, the dark T of his visor trained on your as he refused to look away. You stared right back, as if you were seeing a ghost - in some ways you were.

Slowly, he rose to his full height, stepping down from his throne, imposing as ever as he slowly walked over to you. You stilled in your actions, wondering if you should run away or fight or something. Instead you watched as he came closer and closer and closer - right until he stopped dead in front of you.

“You’re just as pretty as then,” his voice was soft as he reached a gloved hand up touch your cheek. He hesitated before making contact with your skin, stripping the worn leather gloves off and tossing them mindlessly onto the sandy floor. He watched you closely before finally touching your cheek to his see if you would stop him or flinch out of his touch.

But you didn’t; despite believing he was gone all of these years, a small bit of you still had hope.

“Boba?” it was a weak, pathetic little whimper as you keened into his touch. He stalled for just a moment, his heart almost stopping at the sound of his name from your lips. It was even sweeter than he remembered, “is it really you?”

“I told you I’d never leave you, little one,” he rasped as you worked to blink back tears that had started to well up in your eyes. You looked at him with wide doe eyes as he made a small sound in the back of his throat. As a single tear pearled up and ran down your cheek, he tenderly wiped it away, “it just took me a little longer than planned to get back to you.”

And then you laughed; despite the situation and the overwhelming onslaught of emotions, you just laughed. Before you knew it, he was laughing as well, a warm, rich sound that you remembered like it had been yesterday.

“Boba,” you couldn’t believe it. This whole time, all these years, your hope wasn’t wasted after all, “you’re alive. You’re here - I’m here. I-I...I dreamed of this day so many times.”

“As have I,” he promised, “I’m just...I’m afraid that I might be a little different than you last remembered - the sarlacc was not a kind friend to me.”

“I don’t care,” you promised him, “I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care. You’re alive and that’s all...I...please, let me look at your face. I need to see you, Boba.”

He gave a curt nod before dropping his hand from your cheek and exhaling deeply. Slowly, he put his hands on either of the helmet - newly painted, you noted - and tugged it up and off. You swallowed nervously, anxious to see the eyes of your lover once again.

Boba let the helmet fall to the ground, the thud dulled by the pillowy sand, nervous for you to say something, anything. You weren’t sure what you had been expecting, but this? This was nothing; scarred and more weathered than when he had been a younger man, he was still the same as always. Boba - your Boba.

“At least one of us is - “

Before he could say anything in the negative, your put your hands on either side of his face before crashing your lips onto his. He was taken aback for a moment at your sudden action, but it didn’t take more than a beat for him to wrap his arms around you and hold you tightly against his chest. It was like no time had passed at all, and you still knew each other just as you always had.

Only when you needed a breath of air did you pull apart, staring back into his soft brown eyes.

“Boba,” it was soft - reverent - and worked to thaw the icy harshness that had settled over his heart, “I love you. I’ve always loved you so much. I never stopped. I always hoped that somehow you would make your way back to me.”

“Always, my little one,” he promised with a gentle kiss to your forehead, “I will always protect you. No harm shall ever come to you so long as I live and breathe.”

“I can’t believe you’re alive,” you wrapped your arms his neck and held him, just held him, as the two of your synced your breathing and become reacquainted with each other’s bodies.

“Will you stay?” he asked quietly as you pulled back and nodded. For Boba, you would have done anything and gone anywhere in the galaxy, “w-with me?”

“Yes,” you promised him softly as you traced over his features delicately with the tip of your finger, “always. There’s nothing that would make me happier.”

“I’ve missed you,” he whispered as you nodded, “I promise we’ll never be apart again.”

“I’ll hold you to that Boba Fett,” you sighed contentedly, “I love you, Boba.”

“I love you too, little one,” he kissed the top of your head, “come on, we have much to talk about.”

“And now have all the time in the galaxy.”
